John Larson, Mayor Luke Bronin and federal lawmakers are again calling on the Trump administration to reverse an August decision to cut funding for a program that helps prevent teenage pregnancy. …

“The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program is essential to communities like Hartford,” Larson said. “These programs have shown to be effective in cities across the nation — and they serve districts both Democratic and Republican.

“This program was cruelly and abruptly cut over the objection of public health experts, with little warning and two years before the five-year program was supposed to end,” Larson said.
